Many thanks. Question: Is this use of setups now the "official" or preferred way to handle footnote typography options? On the surface, it appears to be overkill. For the declaration \setupdirections[bidi=global] shouldn't that mean that bidi is applied, well, globally? For \definedfont the behavior is less surprising, since that is obviously a local command. But is setups the official way to globalize the command (aside from typescripts or simplefonts)? Best wishes Idris

Dear gang,
In the attached/following example, bidi is not applied in the footnote:
\setupdirections[bidi=global]
\starttext \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \startfootnote \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \stopfootnote{} \stoptext
Is there something else that I need to do? Thanks in advance!
[Also: Is there a way to not have to declare \definedfont twice?]
